The Science

Studies have Shown

Reflective functioning allows you to recognize, understand and manage your own mental and emotional experiences and their impact on your child and relationship. (Suchman et al, 2016)

Reduced Stress

Positive reminiscing leads to increased happiness. Looking at memorabilia like an ultrasound is great, but recreating imagery in your mind from a story is even more effective! (Batcho, 2014)

After birth, mom’s body responds more sensitively than ever. Internalizing difficulties can lead to negative mood in your baby, but Lifechime can help you vent. (Rosebrock et al, 2015 and Edwards et al, 2017)

Improved Childhood Outcomes

Developing parental reflective functioning enables you to make sense of your baby’s mental and emotional experiences, which in turn may help you respond sensitively to your infant’s emotional and physical needs. (Slade, 2005)
